Bande-annonce
Divide Light Film est un opéra créé par l’artiste visuelle Lesley Dill et le compositeur Richard Marriott sur des textes d’ Emily Dickinson. Véritable performance multimédia, cette œuvre transcende la structure même de l’opéra par sa forme éclatée. Elle met en scène huit chanteurs et chanteuses de la compagnie New Camerata Opera (New York) et le quintette à cordes Cabinet of Curiosity qui subliment les poèmes de Dickinson dans une scénographie remarquable sur une musique envoûtante aux influences classiques, jazz et balinaises. Au-delà de la captation du spectacle, le film prend comme prémisse l’attention sélective du public transporté par les voix des interprètes, les projections d’images et de poèmes et les costumes «?manuscrits ? » favorisant la perception de cet univers dans sa globalité. Des douze pièces composées naît un crescendo allant de la noirceur, de la peur et de l’isolement jusqu’à l’extase.
